Web Privacy Browser Tor Under Servers

The Browser Tor, no doubt an excellent privacy browser more available, declining on bridge servers. The downsizing of servers impairs the ability of the browser to perform searches and provides a way to open internet access in areas where governments and other agencies are strictly in control of access to information.

Mu a blog editing published this week, the non-profit Tor Project, the organization that maintains and develops the Tor program, said it currently has about 1,200 servers or bridges, of which 900 supports the obfs4 obfuscation protocol. Bridges and private servers which provides access to users living in areas where the Tor network is closed. Tor gives users anonymity by sending links to the server multiple times, and in some cases, via multiple countries.

However, it should be noted that Tor is not only used by people who do not have access to the internet in their country. They are also used by people who want to hide their IP addresses or who do not want to be tracked.

The Tor program said the number of bridges, which are operated by volunteers, is declining since the beginning of the year.

“It is not enough to have too many bridges: in the end, they can all be found on the list,” he said. he said in his blog post. “That’s why we need new bridges that have not been closed anywhere.”

According to Tor Projectmetrics, from mid-August to the present, the top 5 countries with users connected via bridges include (in the user system) Russia, with approximately 12,480 daily users; in the US, with approximately 10,726 daily users; Iran, with an average of 3,738 users per day; Germany, approximately 2,322 users; and Belarus, with approximately 1,453 users.

To address the shortage of bridge servers, Tor Project is launching a campaign to bring 200 obfs4 bridges online by the end of the year. It has released “reward kits,” which include Tor hoodies, T-shirts, and stickers, for volunteers who run the bridge servers for one year. (Remember, this is useless). The project will end on Jan. 7, 2022.
